Rockland County Events Week of 4/18 – 4/24-16
Hello Friends! Spring is here! I don’t know about you but I’ve been spending my afternoons outside soaking up the vitamin D, letting the kids play themselves exhausted 🙂 This week (Friday) is Earth Day; there are scheduled cleanups within Rockland County that you can volunteer to join the cleanup. A schedule can be found at www.keeprocklandbeautiful.org, this week Blauvelt, Pearl River, Spring Valley, Valley Cottage.
I wanted to share some info for my fellow RC peeps; Kids eat FREE at Ihop . Going on NOW thru May 6th from 4pm – 10pm. FREE 🙂 Also, Nyack’s farmers market is now going on Saturday mornings, definitely worth checking out.
Join us on May 1st when we will host a Breast Cancer walk/run in memory of Loretta Cappiello, (“Retta”), a former Nanuet resident. We will host a series of 1 mile walk/jog/sprints through downtown Nanuet. Funds raised will go directly to the Breast Center at Nyack Hospital.
